It started happening today, but it isnt the first time. Does it sound like something may be wrong with me?

She has anxiety problems and is disabled because of it. She is able to do things for herself but wont. Since I was a child has "depended" on me to do everything. She calls our house 5 times a day or more stops by and beeps her horn in our driveway and keeps beeping until you come down. She is constantly saying that my husband is abusing me because I never take her anywhere. She always wants me to take her shopping, to get her license, dye her hair, fix something at her house, etc. And so I say that I am not going somewhere so she will leave me alone.
I just dont know what to do but she makes me feel guilty for not doing things by saying that she has nobody to help her. Since she got a divorce it has gotten even worse she had aways depanded on how she expects me to take his place. She tries to talk to me like I am a friend but she is supposed to be the mother not me! Not long ago she got mad because I wouldnt drive her 2 hrs to go to Connecticut. I need my own life.
Any suggestions?

My parents and my b/f have all convinced me that I am depressed. I tend to close myself in my room alot and I'm not as social as I used to be. Other than that I don't feel that I'm really depressed, but rather I've mellowed out. Anyways, the rest of my family are all on anti-depressants already and they talked me into going on them to try them. I was put on Lexapro, and I've only been using it for a few days. The only thing is that I seem to be having real bad side effects. I feel nauseated, I feel weak and seem to have no energy, and I'm shakey. Is this normal when you first go on an anti-depressant?

My husband has psychotic bipolar with self-mutilating tendancies (cutter). We were going to send him to Atl to a program called For My Life. His medicine has brought him a long way, but he needs to heal his spirit to be complete. This place in Atl is run by nun's and is 'a program of intense ministry...'. We aren't joined with a specific demonination, but are spiritual, so we thought this would be OK. As soon as he told the sectry. he was a cutter, she sd that was the devil, he wld have to have supervision constantly, and (in other words) would be accepted, but not welcomed. We live near Chattanooga, Tn. If anyone has a recommendation on anther treatment center, I would greatly appreciate it. Hopefully nearby (up to 150 mi.)

I was wondering if it's possible that stress... let say affects your own health? And if so, how does stress affect health? And what you would do about it?

i have severe anxiety disorder. just to give you an example i convinced my self that i had a warrant for my arrest for the past 5 months. freaked out, lost focus etc. i finally got the courage to call the police and request a check. the woman told me i didnt have a warrant. finally some relife right? nope i figured that i really did have a warrant but she didnt tell me so she could send the swat team to come get me. heres the kicker ... i didnt do anything illegal. dont believe me? figure i must be guilty for some reason? Im the same guy who convinced him self he had HIV while i was still a virgin! (im educated too, 3rd year bio major). I find that sometimes the only reliefe i can get is when something good happens and i feel calm. like when im with my friends its less or if a girl comes up and talks to me it goes away. and the more im alone the worse it gets. bt im also antisocial. sorry im really confused and it must show. but therapy is not an option right now, what else can i do?

Several months ago, I asked this question on Answers and got some great responses: "How can someone stop settling for less than the best." The only thing that has changed is that the "long-distance situation" is over. I didn't meet anybody yet, but I wanted to be free to move on whenever I do meet someone. So, my question: Any suggestions for activities to occupy my time. So far I came up with getting involved in the Alumni association and volunteering at retirement communities. Since I'm 31 and single, I also want to meet other singles while avoiding the typical "night scene," any suggestions?

I just graduated with a college degree, i am 22 single, jobless, stress. I am tired of struggling. I LOOK everyday for a job. My life sucks right now. No job, no spouse, no support from anyone. its hard out here trying to motivate yourself! Without any help from no one! Sometimes I feel like god has forgotten about me, sometimes, i just want to give, up, I am tired of the stress and depression.

I've had separation anxiety and anxiety disorder for about 7 or 8 years, and it's time for me to go to college in like...a month. I'm only going to be a half hour away from home and it sounds like no big deal to other people but because of the anxiety i've been extremely attached to my parents..it's not like i don't have friends, but it's not the same. I'm already getting upset about the idea of staying away from home, but i've always been told the best thing to do is face things head on. What do i do if i'm extremely lonely? any suggestions?

I am going to college and need disability services for a mental health condition. How would I go about getting documentation?

This is what my schools website says:

"Persons with documented disabilities who are in need of disability services or accommodations are encouraged to contact Disability Services. The university respects the student’s right to disclose or not to disclose a disability, however the university is not responsible for providing services or accommodations for students who do not disclose a disability to Disability Services. To receive services or accommodations, students must provide the appropriate documentation. Communication of a disability to other sources does not serve as a substitute for official notification to the Office of Disability Services."

I live in Boston with my wonderful boyfriend. But I'm from the South and I miss it so much. The people, the places, the way things are done, etc.

I get especially homesick because I have a bad habit of trying to make everyone happy and then I end up unhappy. For instance, we're going camping tomorrow, but even FURTHER north, and the people we're going with do everything so differently from how I grew up. So I've been trying to act happy and excited but now I'm dreading it. I didn't grow up eating fried rice or drinking alcohol on camping trips and now I'm really missing how I grew up.

This isn't the only thing that makes me homesick. I miss the food, the friendly attitude, everything.

I adore my boyfriend and don't want him to think i'm unhappy here- I'm not unhappy, just homesick. I also don't want to bring him down with me. He'd do anything in his power to make me happy but we can't move because his very specialized job is only in this area. What can I do to cope on my own?
